There is trash talk and then there is being an arse, I put Sherman in the latter.

Me, I like it when they have to eat crow. And eventually, they will. In Sherman's case, in about 2 weeks.

It really was a great game, but I'm hoping Denver will romp Seattle. Sherman did act like a punk, then during the interview, a thug...

Denver Broncos 44
Seattle Seahawks 23

If manning doesn't get hurt that is ... probably his last game or should be.

Seattle didn't beat San Francisco ... San Francisco beat San Francisco

Quite a difference between Kaepernick and Manning. What Manning lacks now in arm strength he is light years ahead in reading defenses and
making adjustments at the line, plus they have a very balanced offensive attack. Though it will be very difficult against a stingy Seattle D.

Will Lynch run wild on Denver's D, we will have to wait and see, but New England certainly did not. And NE's running game is no slouch.

I am recovering from a suicide attempt.

I screamed at Kaep for hurrying his throw.

Richard Sherman?

I love the calls on the twitter calling him a thug.

He is from Compton CA, 57% graduation rate, well over a 4.0 GPA in HS, He graduated from Stanford with a real degree, not some liberal science crap they use to push dumb athletes through.

Crabtree is a cocky dude, his first year after being drafted he sat out a year because he wanted more money, one of his dumb ass relatives was his agent and saw it fit for him to sit out.

Crabs is good, and I like him on my team, no one can deny it, but he is Terrell Owens 2.0, and when Richard Sherman tried to shake his hand, Crabs mushed him. It comes out today, this is the second time Crabs snubbed Shermans handshake attempt.

Sherman spoke out of adrenaline, I laughed my butt off at how visibly uncomfortable it made Erin Andrews, I laughed harder when Fox cut away, I needed a laugh, losing is a bitter pill in January.

I see no problem with Shermans words. He deserves his triumph, and he deserves his respect.


On a side note: Denver wins...There will be no 12th man in NJ, nor banned ticket sales. It pisses me off they keep calling it New York, it is in East Rutherford NJ.

Oh and the Statue of liberty is in NJ too, New York steals everything from us, then calls us stinky, (from their smog) Most of the proper port of New York is in Jersey too...Our governor also own the GW bridge, eat me NY!

[AVGWarhawk]

Jersey has always and will be the dumping grounds for New York.

Anything good we get, like both "New York" Teams and the stadium we got nothing for. Sure the economical boost, too bad the stadium is in the middle of a swamp, and nothing is really near there. Outlets in Secaucus if you head down rt 3 a bit, about it...

The McDonalds cups have NY/NJ on them, why the hell does New York need the attention, when it is not there? Maybe I would not be a 49er fan from NJ if we actually got credit for a team here.

All my other sports teams are local, even as a kid, I thought playing in NJ, and calling yourself a NY team was kinda silly.

The Minnesota vikings are moving to Ohio, but will still call themselves Minnesota, same thing

So check this out. I heard this on the radio today:

Eli won a Superbowl in Peytons old house in Indianapolis and now Peyton has a chance to return the favor.

I bet it is drilled into us by the media for the next 2 weeks.

#mediaoversaturation
Would be a hell of a story. I have to hop on team Peyton. You all know why. Sure the hawks (I am not allowed to call them SeaChickens until after the Bowl) have a great team, nasty defense. NO 12th MAN. No disrupting playcalls, no piped in noise (yes they do that, I been there, I know. No Hawk fan will admit it, but they pipe in crowd noise on the speakers)

But logic tells me Denver is better, The Seahawk defense will not be a factor, no 12th man among the corporate monkeys who can actually get tickets to a super bowl. If Denvers defense could nullify the Pats, then the hawks have no chance.

NJ also gets the trash from NY. You are not alone. Sporting news constantly focuses on the Yankees. The Orioles get less TV time in MD compared to the Yankees. Even now the Weather Channel is spending more time talking NY and the LIE concerning the snow. Baltimore gets a passing mention yet the state is getting buried.

Seriously about Baltimore and the Yanks?

Baltimore is one of my favorite parks to visit, the people are awesome, no drama if your a yankee fan, I showed up in a Mariano Jersey, my last trip me and this other dude kept buying each other beers when our other team scored, it was a great time. No sour grapes, I got alot of high 5s from the fans on the way out, was a fun experience.

I think it may have to do with the fact Baltimore is a second Yankee home? It is an easy drive for us, and the park is beautiful, and the surrounding areas have great dining and such.

Kinda stinks. NJ is right across the river, but Baltimore, 2 states away.

(I blame Frontrunners)

Sherman is a punk and an adrenaline rush is no excuse. He deserves no respect whatsoever for his behavior but perhaps some for how talented he is on the field.

It is sad that the face of that team now seems to be Sherman's rant. I say again, he is a punk.
That being said, there are a lot of good guys on the Seahawk's team and they deserve better because he spoke for himself and not for them.

I just hope for a fair weather Super Bowl and that the Bronco's can find a way to deal with the speed on Seattle's team.

There is no talk in Denver to suggest he won't play for a couple more years no matter how this season ends.

I said what I said under duress. I am a niner fan, and it hurt.

But he did catch the winning int with the game on the line, why I respect him.

He also shut down Crabtree for the most part, and forced our quarterback to rush for over 100 yards.

I hated his comments, I hated his "choke" gesture at Kaepernick, when that lower 20 something kid will be making twice as much money as him next year. I hated his comments to Crabs, when Erin Andrews did not even ask about it.

But I respect what he and his team did, he turned a game winning TD for the 49ers into a game ending INT.

I am not justifying his comments, I just understand how he could make them, him and Crabs got History from college.

I am a Niner fan justifying this guy. Not some Seattle, happy rah rah 12th man fanboi. (most of which are frontrunners)
